Sunset Shield – 1st September 2021

With a wind ranging from 5 – 12 mph, Mark set a course of A, 5, 4, B, 2 and back through the start.

At the end of the first lap Dave & Ann (Leader) were first back across the line followed 10 second later by Ellen then Darren and Steve S, all in Lasers. Newton & Sam (RS200) came through in 5^th just ahead of Alistair, Hilary and Paul H, again all in Lasers.  Then along came Ron in his trusty Mirror followed at some distance by Rich F (Comet Duo), Fleur (4.7), Paul W (Morbic) and Angus in another Mirror.

On the second lap Ellen took the lead but there was no other change in the positions down to 6^th place. Paul H moved up to 7^th by passing Hilary, Fleur moved up to 10th by passing Rich and everyone else maintained station. Angus and Paul received the gun at the end of this lap.

The third and last lap saw Darren cross the line in 1^st place with Ellen holding 2^nd and Dave & Ann moving up to 3^rd and Newton & Sam up to 4^th.  The only other change was Rich repassing Fleur.

The order on the water was – 1^st Darren; 2^nd Ellen; 3^rd Dave & Ann; 4^th Newton & Sam; 5^th Steve; 6^th Alistair

On corrected time this becomes – 1^st Dave & Ann; 2^nd Ron (never write him off if you can still see him and sometimes when you cannot see him!); 3^rd Darren; 4^th Ellen; 5^th Newton & Sam; 6^th Steve.

Thanks to SOOD Mark and the team of Alessandro, Hadey and Mike C.
